There is a previous, much simpler version of this drawing. It only showsa breached spceship and some generic books floating away. I redid this much more detailed version a bit later, as a commission. Saara is collecting up a lot of first editions of books I thought important at the time. Visible are Larry Niven's first novle, World of Ptaavs. Also in free float are Fritz Leiber's The Silver Eggheads, Tom Wolfe's Rhe Right Stuff, Clifford Simak's The Goblin Reservation, Steven King's The Shining, Gene Wolfe's Peach, and an Ace double. I think that's a Heinlein backcover at the bottom. There's a copy of 2001 A Space Oddesey, Dune, and the others are unrecognizable even in my largest file (which this isn't). No doubt I could identify the rest from the original. If I drew 'em, I can probably read 'em. Bakka, the name on the spaceship is also the name of the local SF bookstore.

As an odd footnote, I had recorded what I was paid for this commision. $15. I was grumpy and depressed for a couple of days after. Nothing could speak more elogquently of the difficulties I've had all my life to make ends meet. At that rate, 48 hours of work a week would never have amounted to anything like the poverty-line let alone a middle-class lifestyle.
